Hi @Flamestatus,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Check your SSD health

Download CrystalDiskInfo (free) → run it → check if your SSD’s health shows GOOD or if there are warnings (Reallocated Sectors, Pending Sectors).

If it shows yellow or red, your SSD is likely the problem.

 

Run a RAM check

Type mdsched.exe in Windows → run the Windows Memory Diagnostic → reboot → let it check for RAM errors.

Or, use MemTest86 from a bootable USB for a more thorough test.

 

Check for BIOS updates

Go to OMEN Support → search for your model (16-b1000) → see if there’s a newer BIOS update.

Sometimes GPU hangs and storage bugs are resolved with firmware/BIOS updates.

 

Clean GPU drivers again, carefully

Boot to Safe Mode

Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to fully remove the GPU driver.

Reboot → install the latest NVIDIA driver directly from NVIDIA’s site (not Windows Update).

 

Try a clean OS reinstall (one last time)

If the disk is healthy but the OS is still glitchy:

Back up your files.

Use the Microsoft Media Creation Tool to create a fresh USB installer.

Reinstall Windows 11 cleanly, format the drive during setup.

I hope this helps.

 

I'm glad I could help! 😊 If this resolved your issue, please mark it as "Accepted Solution" and click "Yes" on "Was this reply helpful?" Your feedback not only keeps us going but also helps others find the solution faster! 👍

 

Take care and have an amazing day ahead! 🚀
